At the beginning of this offseason, the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and perhaps the future Hall of Fame Ben Roethlisberger retired after an 18-year career. Roethlisberger needs to say a few things as the team prepares for the first season without him since the early 2000s.
I’ve already elaborated on his claim of former Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert. I wanted to retire early to RoethlisbergerThe Looney family was happy to keep him playing. In the same story that Roethlisberger commented on Colbert, he also talked about how his entire career evolved.
Asked by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (h / t ProFootballTalk) about his career regrets, Roethlisberger first mentioned that the team’s Super Bowl XLV lost to the Green Bay Packers. Then he seemed to blame the team’s lack of success in the recent playoffs in a hug of a young player compared to early in his career.
Another big regret is that the Steelers have won only three games in the playoffs since they entered the Super Bowl XLIV in 2010.
“I feel like the game has changed. In a way, I feel like people have changed. Maybe it was because I was spoiled when I came in. The team was very important. It’s all. It was about the team. Now it’s me and this, that, and so on.
“I might be standing in a soap box a bit, but that’s my biggest takeaway from start to finish. It changed from team first to my type of attitude. It was hard. These Difficult for young guys, social media. They are treated very well in college. Now this new NIL stuff is incredible. They are treated very specially. College coaches too. They are spoiled at a young age because they need them to win. I know the coach [Terry] Hoeppner never spoiled me [at Miami of Ohio]..Did neither [Bill] Cower. “
Roethlisberger claims that today’s players are spoiled given how the Steelers attacked him, despite the apparent decline of the Steelers. It wasn’t. season.
The Steelers didn’t like to turn their backs on defense, so they maintained one of the lowest play action rates in the league. They rarely took advantage of pre-snap movements because he felt it influenced his painting of defense. Both play action and motion have been shown to have a positive effect on the efficiency of the passer rating, and the Steelers had to desperately drink juice in Roethlisberger’s later years. However, Roethlisberger preferred to sit in a shotgun and fire a quick pass near the line of scrimmage, putting most of the work of the attack on the team’s skill position player-and the Steelers accepted him. .. (Perhaps the omission as a coach who never hugged Mike Tomlin was intentional and did he admit that he was hugged later in his career?)
As our friend at PFT said, Roethlisberger also benefited from the friendly media treatment. Early in his career, he was given a hole close to the memory of allegations of sexual assault and rape. (Although not charged, Roethlisberger was suspended for violating the league’s personal course of action and ordered by Commissioner Roger Goodell to undergo a “comprehensive expert behavioral assessment.”) During his last NFL season, he received something like a living legendary cure (most often based on overall field achievements).
In any case, the claim that today’s players are spoiled but Roethlisberger wasn’t is reasonably expected to lead to a relative lack of Steelers success, but other NFLs. Not on the team. After all, teams such as Saints, Packers, Giants, Ravens, Seahawks, Patriots, Broncos, Eagles, Chiefs, Buccaneers, and Rams are probably younger than Ross Lisberger on their way to winning the Super Bowl XLIV through LVI. Was using.
